David Silva sends Man City fans a moving farewell message
He said: “When you are young you don’t dream about all of this. You dream about becoming a footballer, a professional footballer, you dream of playing in the top flight.
“But you never think about all the things that you could possibly achieve. Even more so now when I look back at everything I have achieved I could never have imagined it, even in my wildest dreams.”
Silva dodged questions about his future, with speculation that he may be lined up by Inter Miami in the MLS, or a return to Spain.
But he said that it will be a wrench to leave Manchester, and say farewell to the rest of the squad: “I’m going to miss them a lot because we have been together for so many years - also the people who work here at the club who have made everything so easy.
“They are always there for me for everything I need every day.”
City fans adore Silva, with many citing him as the best player in the club’s history, and Silva says the feeling is mutual.
Sadly, there will be no fans at the stadium to see him bow out of English football - but the fans' group 1894 are planning a tribute to him before the Champions League second leg against Real Madrid on August 7.
“They have shown me so much respect – and respect is the most important thing for me,” he said. “They have shown me and my family respect wherever we go and then on the pitch too. I am very grateful for all of this.
“I just want to say thank you to all the supporters, to the club, to the workers here at the club because they have made my life much easier and I am grateful for that.
“I will be Blue – Blue forever.”
